QualityNet is a data and Internet service provider operating in Kuwait. It was established in 1998, after the Ministry of Communication made it possible for private companies to provide data communication services. QualityNet achieved ISO 9001:2000 certification, by which it also became the first company in Kuwait to be awarded with this recognition in this industry.
The company's backbone network is based on a fiber optic medium with a centralized ATM switch and numerous access nodes to provide coverage in Kuwait. The access to the backbone network is primarily through Frame Relay, ADSL and ISDN technologies. QualityNet uses a combination of Teleglobe and EMIX for their international connectivity.
Ali Alghanim & Sons General Trading Company, Bahrain Telecommunications Company (Batelco), and National Bank of Kuwait are shareholders.
QualityNet provides services to cater to residential and SMB customers, as well as corporate and Enterprise Solutions for large business segments. In 2005, the company launched its ICT services segment, in association with a number of companies abroad. Later in the year 2006, the company also introduced its Smart Building Solutions portfolio. Because of the introduction of these segments, Qualitynet has moved from being an Internet services provider to a total solutions provider.
